Physicians are facing challenges at every turn…lower reimbursements, higher malpractice insurance rates and an increasingly litigious public just to name a few of the challenges. In his recent USA Today article, Dr. Kevin Pho does a terrific job of describing another major systemic challenge; a lack of primary care physicians.

I am proud of the fact that iMedExchange has been a supporter of Dr. Kevin, as he is commonly known. A prolific blogger, and general conveyer of common sense, he’s an exemplary leader through his writing.

As the iMedExchange online community for physicians evolves, we are privileged to associate with, and hopefully support, the hundreds of thousands of physicians making a difference in their respective community. I welcome you to join the community and share your thoughts and opinions with physician colleagues in a safe and engaging environment.

A quick progress update on our quest to have physicians from all 50 states participating in iMedExchange before our official launch. We are happy to take New Mexico and Utah off our shrinking list of unrepresented states! Welcome to our new members, we're happy you joined.
